looking like fall...at least in the mountains



"I moved a lot when I was young & I still ache a bit at the thought of all those autumns in new & unfamiliar landscapes." -story people

This quote reminds me so much of my Adam since he loves every bit of fall and moved around a lot as a kid. I often wonder what it was like for him to see autumn in so many different places when my autumns have all looked a like.





I took my family on a scouting trip with me last night. We headed a mile up the road to a trail head I'm doing a photo shoot at next week so I could check out the light etc. It was a lot of fun to just roam around finding trail after trail wondering where it would take us to next. The girls were getting a kick out of deciding which direction to go all the while I'm trying to make sure we can find our way back.




[I didn't take a lot of pictures of us, I mean look at us we are come as is, but I did make everyone stop on the way out so we could do a family sp.]

It was absolutely beautiful up there and wish the color would stay for months instead of days. I love to look up at the mountains and see the color, but love more getting lost in it. I made Adam promise we would come back if the weather permitted this weekend, but I didn't have to even ask. He would have slept there if I would have let him.

Oh, I am dying to get to the mountains. It reminds me of the first line in Moby Dick where Ahab talks about getting to the sea. I crave it. I love it. The pictures are great and the family SP is really cute. I know Adam loves trees after growing up in Michigan. You might want to go tomorrow b/c Sat and Sun are supposed to be rainy and cold.

I love Utah's Autumn, you can't beat that! Though it is way too brief. I'm exciting to experience our first Fall here.

mmm, those pics make me miss the fall-- cool evenings, changing leaves, football games, sweaters-- a sacrifice i've had to make being in texas. i haven't missed home too much, except when it comes to mountains and the beautiful fall weather.

the photo of your girls is amazing!
